In 114, 1 Sub hit + 3 more. OOL?
FMErwinRommel (X) vs Wizmark (L+16) BM3

I was thinking you couldn’t defeat my subs in sz113. But fatal flaw, can you ignore them if I scramble and force a sea battle?
-
I see my mistake. You win.

Last time you were in the Channel, I garrisoned Germ with troops and planes for scramble and defense. This time I overlooked that you can bypass my first line of defense and so I still needed to garrison my capital. U.S. could sink any surface ship in sz113, so that was no solution. Its been so long since I’ve faced this situation, playing only a game or two at a time. I could have garrisoned Berlin by putting my builds there. But that would have put me behind in Russian front. And Japan can’t continue to hold off the Allies with 44 income. So just as well not drag this out.

@FMErwinRommel I almost went for it last time…but I would have needed the whole uk fleet and army to do it, and the ipc gain would have been lost by the cost of the sunk ships and planes…this timethe cost to uk was only 10 so very much worth it.
Im tending to find if the axis dont win in the first 7/8 turns the US just ends up steam rollering one theatre or the other…G has an enormous coast to defend…J has vulnerable islands and a long coast as well and eventually the US has enough basic material to buy the expensive bombers and planes that win the war…unless of course J can outbuild the US pac fleet

@FMErwinRommel Good game though! I thought I had it won a few turns before and then you smashed the chinese presence and took moscow making things touch and go for a bit!

I concede the game. The poor Italian start offset the Japanese fleet victory. Germany took far too long to take Moscow because UK was not challenged in the Med. Without the defeat of the U.S. fleet, Japan would have been overwhelmed much sooner. Although, if I had remembered to save a DD, ANZ wouldn’t have sunk my CVs. Okay, let’s see if my Allies can defeat you as Axis.

@FMErwinRommel 16ipcs for you to spend…how do you want them? Its late here now so I will get the game set up tomorrow :+1:
-
I’ll post my bid later.

@FMErwinRommel Cool…my engine is updated to 2.2.2 so might be wise if you update as well…dont know if you are aware but there is a bug with subs and fleet battle calcs if the players engines arent the same!
-
I’m already using 2.2.20868. Just got notice that newer version 2.5.2294 is available. Will stay with 2.2.2 unless you change.
